Reader – Liz German
Liz says, ‘I am originally from Essex but moved to Cornwall many years ago when I married a Cornish man. I have a Diploma in Theology and spent three years as a Lay Pastor in the Methodist church before becoming a Worship Leader at St Just. I was licensed as a Reader in October 2018 and am also trained in pastoral ministry. I have two adult children and work as a trained nurse at Roseland Parc Nursing Home in Tregony. It is a joy and a privilege to serve everyone here in our Parish.’
